Millions of Americans suffer from some type of sleep disorder.

A common condition occurs when there is difficulty breathing during sleep due to airway blockage or constriction. This condition is known as sleep apnea. Sleep apnea occurs when breathing passageways are blocked or constricted. This can happen due to large tonsils, a long soft palate or uvula, too much fleshy tissue in the mouth or a condition known as excess relaxation of the tongue.

Sleep apnea can cause symptoms including daytime sleepiness and fatigue, headaches, restless sleep, gasping, anxiety with a feeling of breathlessness, and unintentional dozing during the day. Sleep apnea is also associated with snoring. Sleep disorders, including sleep apnea and snoring, may be serious enough to require surgery, but often can be treated successfully using alternative methods including CPAP, a highly effective oral appliance.
